Unless concerted efforts are made worldwide very soon to reduce emissions, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eclimate change impacts are likely to be devastating. Higher-end temperature\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003escenarios present a dark future jeopardising secure access to basic needs such as\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewater, food, housing and a healthy environment, as well as adding to the stressors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon natural resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThose who will suffer the most from the challenges posed by climate change have\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econtributed the least to the problem in the first place: the poor and vulnerable, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eespecially in developing countries. To make matters worse, these are the same\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epeople who have benefited the least from modernisation and industrialisation and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehave a relatively small carbon footprint. This is a double injustice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile climate justice and social justice are difficult to disentangle, neither the legal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esystems nor the main actors framing the dominant climate change narratives seem\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esufficiently attentive to the double-edged justice questions posed by the impacts of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eclimate change on poor communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book attempts to fill some of the gaps in climate change scholarship by focusing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon the climate narratives emerging in and around South Africa - how they relate to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebroader issues of social justice and resource allocation, and the role of rights talk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand legal strategies in the framing of the problems and solutions.
